The forks in the road of life. While on my journey in life, I wish that I had listened to my instincts, as I truly believe that's God's way of talking to me (us).
The nature of existence and the interconnectedness of all things are topics that Zare explores in several of his works. He creates art that is both powerful and accessible. Thanks to his minimalist aesthetic, he reduces complicated concepts and feelings to their most basic elements.
